"COME AND SEE WHAT GOD HAS DONE; HE IS AWESOME IN HIS DEEDS TOWARD THE CHILDREN OF MAN"
- Psalm 66:5
We gather each week because God is worthy of worship, Christ is worthy to be proclaimed, and sinners like us are in constant need of His grace.

Bringing Your Family?
We are grateful for families and consider children a gift from the Lord. We want parents to feel at ease when they come with young children. All of our volunteers are members of our church family, and are vetted.
Currently, we have a classroom for kids from ages 4-10. Kids join us in singing with the congregation, then they are dismissed to their class. If you have questions about the class or family seating before you arrive, our greeting team can help.

"FOR ALL THINGS COME FROM YOU, AND OF YOUR OWN HAVE WE GIVEN YOU. "
- 1 Chronicles 29:14
Why We Give
God’s people are givers. Through Christ, the idols of this world are torn from their hearts, and they learn to give freely from God’s own provision.
Scripture teaches that Christian giving is not about guilt or mere external obedience, but about a heart freed from the idol of money and ruled by Jesus. For Jesus, generosity is not mainly external conduct but a matter of the heart: if money rules the heart, it will rule the whole life; if we are generous with God, it will be natural to be generous with others.
We are called to give generously, cheerfully, and sacrificially for the needs of others and the work of the gospel, trusting Him to provide. When a Christian understands this, giving is no longer a burden, because the idol has fallen and Jesus now reigns in its place.
